Plan Your Trip

Early check-in fee: Early check-in is free of charge, but subject to room availability. If early check-in is not possible, we are happy to store your baggage securely until the official check-in time, at 14:00pm.

Cancellation policies may vary depending on the room rate or dates of your reservation. Please refer to your reservation confirmation to verify your cancellation policy. We encourage you to retrieve and review your reservation online. If you need further assistance, please contact the hotel directly.

Please note that we will cancel reservations for ''no shows'' at 14:00pm the day after the booked check-in date. No-shows will be charged the full amount of their reservation which is non-refundable and the booked room(s) will be released.

We are happy to offer our guests an airport transfer service (Koh Samui airport) both to and from Mantra Samui Resort. The transfer time is approximately 20 minutes and all of our air-conditioned mini-buses offer free wifi to guests.

You will need to provide us with your arrival/departure time(s) and your flight number(s).

Direct Bookings:

We provide complimentary two-way airport transfers to those guests who have booked their stay with us directly.

Tourists require a valid passport to rent a car, scooter or motorbike, and although it is rare for the police to undertake spot-checks for drivers licences, it is still recommended that you have one. We also advise that personal accident insurance is taken out prior to your holiday - just to be on the safe side. It is essential to wear a helmet when riding a scooter or motorbike and remember that in Thailand, people ride / drive on the left side of the road.

Riding a scooter or a motorbike is definitely the easiest way to get around the island – as most of the locals do! It's certainly a cheap way to get around and see the sights.

You can rent these from our hotel Mantra Samui Resort, for the following prices:

Honda Click - 300 THB per day

Honda PCX - 500 THB per day

If the idea of a scooter is a bit daunting or you're here with your family, hiring a car is a great option. Koh Samui is a car friendly place, far apart from the traffic you may have seen in Bangkok! Again, you can rent a range of different cars from Mantra Samui Resort for the following prices:

Toyota Fortuner - 2,500 THB per day

Toyota VIGO - 1,800 THB per day

Toyota Sport - 1,800 THB per day

Toyota Avanzar - 1,600 THB per day

Toyota Vios - 1,500 THB per day

Toyota Yaris - 1,500 THB per day

Suzuki Sporty - 1,300 THB per day

Mazda - 1,600 THB per day

Honda Jazz - 1,500 THB per day

Isuzu D-MAX - 1,800 THB per day

Note: The rates noted above are inclusive of tax. Optional insurance is an additional 400 THB per day.

There is always good old fashioned public transport. As you walk down most streets, you will notice many red ‘’truck-tooks’’ tooting at you as they pass by. Simply wave one down and let them know where you want to go. They may not take the quickest route, but you will certainly reach your destination at a very reasonable price.

By taxi is another option, but this can be slightly costly. Taxi's in Koh Samui do not run a meter, so for any distance it might cost you a minimum of 300 Thai Baht or more during peak seasons. If you need a receipt, make sure that you ask before jumping in the taxi.

We provide regular complimentary shuttle bus services on a daily basis for our guests to Fisherman's Village and Central Festival Chaweng. Please contact the Front Desk for timings and to book your seat prior to departure.

Visa requirements for traveling to Thailand can seem quite daunting, but we have found a great website that explains all of the requirements very well. Visit The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand.

In summary, if a foreign citizen would like to enter Thailand, they are required to obtain a visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or a Royal Thai Consulate-General. However some nationals from certain countries do not require a visa if they meet certain visa exemption requirements.

Thailand has a tropical climate and as with any holiday destination, it has its high seasons and low seasons at different times across the year.

High season in Koh Samui runs from late December until the end of April when nearly every day is a hot and sunny day. The sunshine continues into May and June with some rainy spells. However the volume of visitors does not pick up again until mid-July through to mid-September - when many people like to take their holidays. Koh Samui does see some rain during these months, but not enough to spoil a holiday in paradise! The rainy season tends to run from late September until mid-December. By no means is it ‘’cold’’ during this time, but it can get very wet!

The first settlers that landed on Koh Samui were in fact Chinese traders and Muslim fishermen who still inhabit the island today, living peacefully alongside their Thai cousins. However the vast majority of the Koh Samui people are Buddhist. There are a remarkable number of ornate Buddhist temples across the island, as well as monasteries - the largest and most famous, found at the ‘’Big Buddha’’. Many of these are available to visit by well organised tours, which also allow tourists to experience other Thai culture; from seeing how rubber (one of Thailand’s biggest exports) is produced, to sampling traditional foods, to meeting Thai locals and seeing traditional dance performances. We will be more than happy to assist you in planning a trip if you would like to experience some of Thailand’s culture during your stay with us.
